Abrar dismissed the first seven England batters, including all centurions from the first Test.

He is now only the third Pakistan bowler to pick up seven wickets in an innings on his Test debut. The other two were Mohammad Nazir versus New Zealand in 1969 and Mohammad Zahid against New Zealand in 1996.

The hosts were in some early trouble, reeling at 5/1 after James Anderson got the better of Imam-ul-Haq. Babar Azam and Abdullah then steadied the ship with a 46-run stand for the second wicket before Jack Leach gave England another breakthrough.

However, Babar ensured Pakistan didn't lose any more wickets on Day 1. The skipper was unbeaten on 61, while Saud Shakeel was batting at 32 as the Men in Green finished the day at 107/2.
